Chapter 60: You can only do things that you can't say

People are realistic, especially the nobles who have been inherited for hundreds of years, have their own set of ways of survival, and this time the role is reflected.

On April 13, 1848, after receiving the news of the rebellion in Prague, Prince Wendy Schgretz immediately returned to the city with his troops to quell the rebellion, and with the cooperation of the local nobles, the whole city was recovered in less than three days.

In order to deter the local powerful faction, Prince Wendy Schgretz ordered the execution of all the leaders who participated in the rebellion, and basically all the rebels of small leaders and above were executed.

More than 2,000 heads hung on the streets of Prague, terrifying the aristocracy who had escaped.

You must know that this time it is not just ordinary people who are killed, and at Franz's request, the execution of big people is now a priority.

Ordinary people can also be used as laborers, but the nobles and capitalists who participated in the rebellion can't be laborers, so the higher the social status, the faster they die.

At the time of the execution, the city government also singled out a group of disreputable people and put them on trial to expose their past crimes.

With their heads, the Vienna government collected another wave of popular hearts, and a look at the cheering Prague people knew how much hatred these people had.

The usury owed will not have to be repaid, and a series of laws enacted by the Vienna government to protect his interests will be implemented here, and the capitalists and ruffians who oppress them will be guillotined.

The Czechs belonged to the West Slavs and were ethnically similar to the Poles, but their culture, national traditions, way of thinking, reactions to reality and even eating habits were so close to the Austrians that they were called "Slavic-speaking Austrians".

Because of the cultural traditions, the Czech population considers themselves to be part of Austria.

In Franz's view, the Austrian government could integrate the Czechs into the Austrian family with a little effort.

"Mr. Kandeley, what is your opinion that I have recommended you to the Vienna government for the post of Director of Education in Bohemia?" Prince Wendy Schretz asked

(Bohemia, present-day Czech Republic)

Chief of Education? This is a ghost, he is a colonel in the Austrian Army, and he was transferred to civilian work like this?

Well, the civil and military demarcation in Austria is not strict, and it is a piece of cake to enter and exit the general, but he is also too quick to change.

Under normal circumstances, Wu Zhuanwen must have a transition period first, and he will only turn over after adapting to it, and it is rare for him to make such a big leap.

However, from the administrative level, he can be regarded as a promotion, and Kandelay knows that he does not have many options, and Prince Wendy Schretz is not a lord who likes to be rejected by others.

"No, Your Excellency!" Condley replied

"Then the matter is decided, the Viennese government wants to unify the language of the whole country, you know, and for this reason it even spared some of the nobles who participated in the rebellion.

Now your task is to urge them to fulfill the conditions they promised, and if anyone dares to go back on their laurels or is passive and slacking off, you should report it in time.

Of course, they alone are not enough, now that a number of state-owned enterprises have been added to the Czech region, you have to organize teachers to go to factories to teach German to ordinary workers.

In other places, you can do it yourself, in short, the German language should be popularized as soon as possible, and Austria should be emphasized in textbooks and local terms should be downplayed! Prince Wendy Schretz instructed

The benefits of a unified language are self-evident, but it is not so simple to do, and now the Vienna government can only quietly promote it.

In view of the resistance of the people, Franz did not even dare to publish a document abolishing other languages and unifying the German language.

You can't say it, but that doesn't mean you can't do it. Franz was a pragmatist, and the subtle promotion of the German language could also serve his purpose.

It won't be long before many people discover the advantages of being able to speak German, for example, knowing German can earn more money in a factory.

In many cases, inducement is often more effective than coercion, and it is not easy to cause backlash.

The Czech region was just the beginning, and after cracking down on the local elites, some nobles were co-opted in order to promote the German language.

After all, these aristocrats are from Germany, German is their mother tongue, and at the same time they know Slavic, so they were left behind to solve the shortage of language teachers.

With the cooperation of these local snakes, the people who dare to make trouble have been cut down again, and ordinary people will not care so much, and they can't do it without learning for a higher salary.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, I will definitely do this job well!" Kandelai assured

From the Prague rebellion, Kandelay had already discovered that the Viennese government attached great importance to the popularization of the German language, which meant that he was doing a promising job.

The specific incentives have not yet been introduced by the Vienna government, and well-informed people already know that the crown prince takes this matter very seriously.

Now it is only because of the war that the government is holding back its energy, and once the rebellion in the country is suppressed, it is likely that the unification of the written and written language will become the national policy of Austria.

There are many smart people, and it always doesn't hurt to follow the national policy. At this time, many people have already started to campaign against the education chiefs in various places.

There is no doubt that Condelay was able to serve as the head of education in Bohemia, and it was undoubtedly not only his contribution this time, but also Prince Wendy Schretz's contribution in it.

……

Franz played a game, apparently not just for a bohemia.

On 13 April, a rebellion broke out in Galicia, and the rebels occupied most of Austrian Poland and established the Polish Provisional Government.

But the rebellion came and went quickly, and on April 16 the Austrian army began to put down the rebellion, and with the support of the local population, the massive rebellion was suppressed in less than a week.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Viennese government purged the local elites, and Franz bared his fangs, and took away the local aristocrats, capitalists, and even the middle class who supported the rebellion.

That's right, this will really be fighting the local tyrants to divide the land, and anyone who helps the government suppress the rebellion can get a piece of land for free, and others will naturally pay for it according to the rules.

Only by treating differently can we reflect the superiority of loyalty to the emperor, and if everyone is the same, who would be willing to die for the emperor?

In just half a month, more than 20,000 heads fell to the ground in Austrian Poland, which can be said to be the most thorough suppression since the outbreak of the European Revolution.

As a result of this battle, the nascent Polish nationalism died in Austria. The rest were either at the bottom of society or loyal members of the Habsburgs, and the activists were sent to God.
